The 2003 graduate of Morse High had a season-high four hits Tuesday night, including his 23rd home run, with two RBIs, two runs scored and a stolen base to lead the Baltimore Orioles to a 4-1 win over the Padres before 28,055 at Petco Park.

Jones drove in both runs the Orioles scored against Padres starter Edinson Volquez, who suffered the loss despite allowing six hits over six innings. He later scored the Orioles’ third run after singling and stealing second.

Jones drove in the Orioles first run with a two-out single in the first and made it 2-0 with the home run to left on Volquez’s first pitch leading off the fourth.

“He’s a great hitter,” Volquez said of Jones. “The home run, there’s nothing you can do. He put a good swing on the ball and hit it out.”

“He didn’t throw many fastballs to me, I was sitting on the changeup,” said Jones. “It was elevated and a strike. I got it off the end of the bat.”

Tuesday night marked Jones’ fourth game in his hometown since the center fielder was the Mariners last pick of the Supplemental Round of the 2003 draft (37th overall).

Jones is 8-for-15 at Petco Park with two homers and four RBIs, Overall, he is 10-for-23 against the Padres with two homers and six RBIs.

“It was cool,” said Jones. “I had a lot of family and friends here. I was cool to hear the cheers and all. I’ve been seeing on Twitter that people were flying out (from Baltimore) for the games. Who wouldn’t want a trip to California.”

Nate McLouth opened the game with a double to right and stole third as Volquez was getting Manny Machado to pop out before striking out Nick Markakis for the second out.

But Jones put the Orioles on the board with a sharp single to center under the glove of the diving Logan Forsythe, who got the start in the first day of Everth Cabrera’s 50-day suspension.

Jones had a hand in Baltimore’s first three runs.

After the Padres had pulled to 2-1 on Yonder Alonso’s RBI single in the sixth, Jones reached on his fourth hit, a two-out single, in the eighth, stole second and scored on Chris Davis’s double to right.

The Padres made several adjustments in the wake of losing Cabrera for the rest of the season.

Will Venable, who hit in the cleanup spot last Friday and Saturday in the absence of the injured Carlos Quentin, led off for the first time since July 25 of last season and reached base in three of his four plate appearances with a triple (leading off the first) and two walks. He also stole a base.

And Forsythe started at short, although Padres manager Bud Black said he will also employ Alexi Amarista and Ronny Cedeno, who was promoted from Single-A Lake Elsinore Tuesday afternoon, at Cabrera’s former position.
